Default RE: Blue Angel - Build

The wing tips were rough cut and a slot cut for a 1/16 piece of plywood at the trailing edge. The inside of the tips were marked and hollowed out with my router tool. I then glued on the wing tips, taped them with masking tape and let the glue setup. After the glue was set I sanded the tip smooth with the wing skin and sanded a little on the top plan view. View of the rough cut tip is on the left and the sanded one on the right. After both tips are sanded I’ll compare the top plan view before starting the rounding process. When the finish sanding is done the sharp edge of the plywood will flow into the rounded tip.
